Vladimir Tarasenko's goal and Igor Shesterkin's 22 saves helped the Rangers defeat New Jersey for the second time in a row. In turn, Valery Nichushkin hit the gates of Seattle and allowed Colorado to take revenge for the defeat in the first match.

Tampa Bay's major defeat was suffered by the current finalist of the competition - Tampa Bay. John Tavares became only the fourth Toronto hockey player in the last 30 years to score a hat-trick in the Stanley Cup.
